This kit has everything pertaining to the cable itself.One key thing about this kit is that the cables are pre-threaded through the casings. This is important because you'll need to snip off the retention ends on the cables to get them out. Make sure you review what your bike actually needs, or else you risk winding up with a line that isn't compatible with your system. Other than that one consideration, they're pretty solid all around.

This product is well made and good for the replacement of brakes and gear cables. I used this kit for a restoration on my vintage bike and it worked perfect. I was kinda worried about the length especially for the rear derailleur cable but it was long enough. There is nothing I dislike about this product.

This is a very affordable, high quality cable repair set that will allow you to replace two brakes and two derailers. Even though I only needed to replace my rear derailer cable this set allows me to have an extra set of cables on hand for any future repairs.If you've never replace brake or gear cable Youtube has plenty of tutorials on this subject. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a video for you particular bike. Also don't mix up the cables. You need to use the brake cable for the brakes and the gear/derailer cable for gears. They are made different and for specific purpose.Here's a very valuable tip many other reviewers have mentioned and that is use a pair of cable cutters that are made for cutting brake or gear cable. I thought I would be fine using my pair of very high quality cable cutters however I was wrong. One of the cable I cut started to fray at the end and I had to discard that cable. I decided to get the Sunyou Mountain Bike Inner Outer Brake Gear Wire Cable Spoke Cutter Repair Tool. Although I don't feel this is the best quality tool i feel if you're a home bike mechanic this would be fine. Don't try to skimp using regular cable cutters.For the price this is a great cable set.

This is a low cost alternative to replacing cables on an older bike. The cable itself is steel and worked fine on the bike I rebuilt - oddly enough, an old Schwinn from 1977. There are different ends for the brakes and derailiurs so be sure to match the correct cable.I did find the housings to be easier to crush when cutting to length than I would prefer. I found putting one of the old cables inside before cutting helped, and you could work the end open easily with an awl or probably even a nail.If your bike is not shifting correctly and the cable are a couple of years old (Or older!) its time to replace them. These will certainly help your bike shift better. If you have a more modern higher end machine I would advise you to look elsewhere.

The cables are strong and move well inside the universal housing. A bicycle cable housing cutter is needed, since attempting to get through the strong steel lining is practically impossible with flat bladed cutting pliers or a hacksaw. The brake cable ends have smaller puck shapes than the ones that came with my brake levers, but they fit in and work well. The shifter cable ends are normal size. Ferrules are excellent and responded well to crimping. There are some minor drawbacks with the product -- They're tightly coiled in the package so visible bends are possible in what should be smooth curves of cable housing in front of the handlebars, and there are only four cable end caps so great care and certainty must exist before they are installed and crimped. I'm really happy with how well my 18 speed bike with linear pull brake works with these cables. They move with ease and control even though I missed the step of greasing the cables. Seating the cable and compressing the spiral lining led to excellent, powerful braking and friction shifting that required no fine tuning. The housing is long enough to have a continuous run from brake and shifter levers to the rear triangle. Fully housed cables will be protected from rain, splashed puddle water, road dust, and sweat. I have a lot of peace of mind having a set of these on hand for future use.
